VIBlend DataGridView for Windows Forms is one of the few components on the market which comes with full support of hierarchies on both Rows and Columns. VIBlend DataGridView can handle hundreds of thousands of Items on rows and columns and Hierarchies can be up to 1024 nodes deep.

Rows Grouping

Bind to any tabular data source, list or even an array objects, specify group-by columns and it's ready:

Fixed Hierarchies (Headers)

The Fixed hierarchies in VIBlend DataGridView are non-scrollable headers that include one or more rows and columns. For example, if the Columns Hierarchy is fixed and the user moves the vertical scrollbar, all rows and the respective grid cells will be scrolled. However, the Columns hierarchy will stay at its original position.

Fixed Items (Fixed Rows & Fixed Columns)

In addition to fixed hierarchies, VIBlend DataGridView allows you to freeze some hierarchy items (rows and columns). Fixed items are individual rows or columns that are not scrollable. They are extremely useful when you want to compare rows or columns which are not next to each other.

Sorting by Rows or Columns

You can sort data regardless of whether the data grid is bound to a data source or works in unbound mode. You can sort by columns and by rows. Each column and row has a Sorting property that allows you to enable or disable the sorting functionality. In addition, VIBlend DataGridView keeps track on the original sort order and you can always see the data in the unsorted order. The sorting algorithm automatically detects if you are sorting numbers, date and time values or text data and applies a proper comparison. The sorting APIs are very flexible and allow you to plug-in your own sorting comparor.

Data Filtering

The filtering functionality works in both bound and unbound mode and allows you to filter by any column or row.
